Sponsor the Suffolk Young Speaker of the Year Awards

We have an ambition to lift up young voices in Suffolk, giving young people the kind of experience that builds confidence in speaking that will pay them dividends in the future. Not only that, we want children and young people to have a platform that empowers them to talk about their vision and hopes for their future, community and sense of place; and understand how powerful it is to be heard.

Your sponsorship can help us make this event magnificent. We particularly want to create opportunities for those voices that are often unheard - children and young people in coastal and rural communities in Suffolk, and market towns, who find it challenging to get across the county to these kinds of events. The more sponsorship funding we can raise, we can offer speaking bursaries to young people who might otherwise struggle to participate - to meets costs such as transport, registration fees and staff cover for their supporting adult.

You can choose from any of the following:

Category sponsorship for £150

1. My passion, Hobby or Sport

2. Media and Technology

3. Mental Health

4. The Environment

The Inclusion Award for young speakers with SEND for £500

Event Sponsorship for £1000

You are also welcome to suggest sponsorship of another award of your choice which you can judge and award on the evening of the final, or offer special corporate sponsorship bursaries for children in your area.

As a sponsor you can choose whether to give us a judge in your category or for the main award, and let us know if you would like to present your award on the night.

We will feature your company in our communications before and after the event, across social media, local press and on our website.
